PETALING JAYA: The Court of Arbitration for Sport has set Feb 26 for a hearing at its headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, to decide on the fate of seven Harimau Malaya heritage players and the appeal by the Football Association of Malaysia against Fifa’s sanctions.
In a brief statement on its website, the court said it will jointly hear the cases of Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Joao Figueiredo, Gabriel Palmero, Jon Irazabal and Hector Hevel, as well as that of FAM.
“The players involved in the appeals were sanctioned by Fifa on Sept 25 with a 12-month suspension from any football-related activities. On Jan 26, CAS issued provisional measures to suspend the sanction until a final decision is rendered,” read the statement.
